You would...the length of wire from the switch to the circuit back to the switch is less than a foot. Add about the same for the volume pot.

I'm wondering what the impedance of the OD circuit is when it is engaged? BTW - is there any way to measure that?
There is, though I've never done it.... gaussmarkov: diy fx Input and Output Impedance

Actually, you can get a pretty rough guess by looking at the dropdown resistors. Each of these circuits will have an input impedance of 1m<>2.2m

Well, now I'm really baffled.... Its not that I'm "worried" about it, its just curiosity. Its my nature to want to know the how and why of things. This am, I noticed that the cord plugged into the bass amp on stage was crooked, so I showed our young bass player about strain relieving cords - how it keeps the cord from failing, and also how it prevents input jacks from getting abused; i.e., that it prevents failure. He didn't seem interested, his response was " I don't know how things work". It shouldn't have, but that really bugged me, probably because I am the designated equipment repair guy, and the bass amp that now has the bent input is on loan to the church from me.

Interesting: I used the Overdrive on bright without the buffer on at church on Sunday and it sounded fine to me.

hmmm.... Well, it did not sound horrible, it just didn't sound great, like it did before when it was being fed a buffered signal.

Is it the first pedal in your signal chain? If not, is there a buffering pedal (not true bypass) in front of it? If it is the first in line, and you get a chance, just try flipping the buffer on / off with the OD on to do an A/B comparison, then post the results, and other details like what guitar/pickups, settings on the Trinity, etc. The difference with my rig was very noticeable. I am wondering if it is something external, like my cable, the guitar I used...etc. I have a new Monster Rock cable that I will try in front of it this week.

My rig was: Dillion P90 gold top LP copy > 18' cable > EQ pedal > GNX2 > volume pedal > 18 foot cable > AC15CCx.

I have a very bare bones setup:

G&L ASAT Semi-Hollow > 10' cable > BOSS TU-2 > SBN Trinity > BOSS DD-3 > 18' cable > Peavey Classic 30 head > Peavey Classic 212 cabinet

At church I didn't have the tuner in the signal chain, so the Trinity was the first pedal in the chain, if I recall correctly. I was a bit rushed before church, so I might have set it up with the delay in front of the Trinity. I can't recall right now. I'll definitely do some more tests with it today or tomorrow.

I only made 12..I didn't keep one for myself. 140 is a good price, though corndog's is etched, so it varies from the photo's above.

Not trying to be a jerk here, but it was advertised/mentioned on here for weeks. There were like two weeks before you had to commit to one.
